Hurt stomach / OH is in sensative

I’ve just been out for a dinner anyways, my OH (other half) was the opersit side of the road and was asking inside places if they had a table (everywhere busy)
I was walking and shouting over to him across the road but didn’t look where I was going ahead and walked directly into a bollard (steel one) into my stomach!!

Stomach was sore to touch instantly and already forming a bruise within 30mins

Told my OH (other half) my concerns and he was making pathetic Jokes about it, I was saying “a bruise this quick does that mean there is blood under neith” he said no a bruise is a bruise and started laughing!

Oh no! Poor u!! I would definitely call midwife to get checked out. Baby is well protected in there but it will put ur mind at rest. I work with kids n got hit right in the stomach super hard with a football at around 22 weeks (I’m 28 weeks now) and I went to get checked out, twice!! The midwives were so lovely and it made me feel much more at ease. Hope all is well!💕💕

Hope you're okay, try not to worry! I've fallen before and whilst I was assured that the baby is very well cushioned inside, I still called the midwife (who, for the record said exactly the same and Baby was fine). As everyone says it's better to speak to your MW/ triage: get double checked and out your mind at ease....If you're like me, you won't relax fully until you do!

I have an anterior placenta so would be paranoid about placental abruption and would definitely call the midwife/hospital.

My OH (other half) never understands when I’m worried about things. It’s because they often don’t understand how our bodies work and don’t bother to find out, just assume they know and everything’s fine.
